The 'white gold rush': Inside a lithium mine, where stores of recyclable energy lie | Nightline
Lithium powers many of our devices as well as electric vehicles. Western states are believed to hold an immense amount of the metal and some say it could help the U.S. reach its climate goals.

A few weeds holding up a lithium mine? Only in this liberal ass country
Where in the F*KK are they gonna get the boocoo water they need 4 this SH*T ??
C.SPMT
All that bullshit over a fuckin weed
Buy LTUM Stock
I built some process equipment for Foote Mineral at that site back in the ’80’s, based on Google Earth at least some of it is still in use. (last I checked tho they had suspended operations)
By 2030? His ass ( Biden) gone in 2023! Out of here! Then WE GET TRUMP BACK…THEN CRUIZ…DEMS ARE FINISHED. TRAITORS AND SELL OUTS…COMMUNISTS AND IDIOTS..STUTTERING MUTTERING MUMBLING FOOLS. TRUMP NEEDS TO CHARGE & JAIL THEM ALL! IF FOUND GUTY OF TREASON? PUNISHABLE BY DEATH BY FIRING SQUAD
Wow looks so green! All those huge diesel engines mining rock out of the earth destroying animal and plant habitats
Host is annoying
WTF? Absolute B.S. open your eyes.
I thought there was a drought out in Nevada. Looks like there’s plenty of water.
Im just glad they had their masks on!
So is this where my anti psychotic comes from
So this video turned out to be about a flower? You liberals amaze me. As long as children in China are producing your products, you don’t care. As soon as you realize that there a consequences to every action, opps, there is an issue. All I have to say is that America is screwed now because of your way of thinking. We can do things safely for the environment and move forward. Instead, they will spend 20 years trying to get that mine open and millions of dollars. By the time it opens, lithium will no longer be needed. The entire world is passing us up and you are worried about a flower. God save us all!
Lies
LOL – “recyclable” energy? LIES. Rechargeable energy, yet Lithium batteries 🔋 do NOT have a recycling process. Lead Acid batteries are recyclable though.
All over one plant that noone will see or noonw will ever wanna see
Quite good narrator , i like her style of talking
Salton sea has lithium but California will screw that up with protests .There will be all types of new advanced technology that the government will kill to control lithium.The rich 🤑
Control it .
This is a nice little advertisement for the lithium industry
SAVE THE WILDFLOWER…….as this chode goes to Burger King and eats beef that leveled a rain forest………FKN moron.
Lithium is used in the storage of electricity; it’s not a source of energy. Generally burning fossil fuels, often coal, generates electricity.
Kurt Cobain loved this documentary. RIP
Everytime I hear the fossil medias speak, I realise that a guy who doesn’t even have a high school diploma like me is smarter than them
*TANSTAAFL*

Her voice is kind of MEG from family guy
Yeah na we aren’t going to be running to mine lithium
Funny how ABC music editors don’t know the difference between Kentucky bluegrass music (intro) and what was really played out west. hint: They didn’t play slide blues or banjos out there. Jeez.
Not using “water” that can be used for agriculture…… this country has gone bat shut crazy
Evaporation , ? food batteries ? hum? wake up
What’s the name of the reporter?
biggest load of bollocks since they said smoking was safe. lithium is a small part of a massive environmental catastrophe making these batteries. cobalt is far worse, toxic and biggest deposits in the most unstable countries in the world.
kids digging the stuff up!
can’t remember seeing children on oil rigs?
can’t replace oil with something just as bad or worse
Why not just very carefully transplant those flowers to a nearby area?
Wonder when the black gold rush will be coming
Why can’t the miner raise a few thousand Tiehm’s buckwheat plants in a nursery? This seems like a poor balance of costs and benefits.
Um is this an ad? Why not talk about the negative parts? And not just about cute little flower that no one cares about
When high school cross country runners go to meets at Lithia Park, funny adults tell them there’s lithium in the water and it feels good to drink water there
Gold $1,850 per ounce, lithium $26.50 per ounce.
So CO2 is a greenhouse gas the world is trying to cut back on by releasing another greenhouse gas that is 10 times worse? Water vapor is much worse than CO2. Every green energy device relies on lithium batteries that only last several years depending on the number of charge cycles used. What are we going to do with all these dead batteries in 10 years? They’re toxic so they can’t be landfilled, they’re expensive and energy consuming to recycle.
Save the flower. Eriogonum rocks. Bestest genus of ’em all.
FF replacement Wall Street investment substance… Coal strip mine style Gargantua operations… fossil fuelster "jump shipper" opportunists.. Why, it just so happens, they purport hydrogen fuel cells can never work, Metal hydride battery inovation will just lie there stalled, induction road charging inovation will just lie there stalled. All for fossil fuel style technology inovation derailment 2.0… LITHIUM. And YOU the people have to sit around WAITING like fools for your LITHIUM battery EVs to charge… It just so happens.
Wow! Biden didn’t fall asleep. Or was that edited out?
Cars ev= covid
Ev🤮🤮🤮💩💩💩💩
I know whats more environmental. OIL AND GAS. And plants breath carbon.
#Patent Rights are Racism
Lithium miners must be the most laidback people in the world.
The human race, or the buckwheat? Hard decision
They should capture the evaporated pure water, seems wasteful otherwise
You are outside doing an interview….take the mask off
